In my experience a huge part of burnout also comes from deriving all your sense of identity from one source. If you only identity yourself as a developer then you will probably sooner or later start questioning whether what you do is all that meaningful. You will also be seriously exposed to criticism as questioning your abilities becomes questioning of your worth as a human being. You are also someones child, maybe a father or mother and only one step away from being a pianist, boardgamer, hiker, traveller or whatever. Identity diversification.
